Open Access Abstract During this study, the principal aim carried out was to obtain more information about technique and conservation conditions of the Egyptian wall paintings during the Roman period in the funerary house in necropolis of Tuna el-gabal, El-Minia-Upper Egypt. It s going back to 2 nd century AD and involves different sites of Ptolemaic and Roman chapels; some are in the immaculate established style while others are a blend of Pharaonic-Greek style and both are secured with mural painting. Deterioration problems observed on the wall paintings of the funerary house are, loss of plaster layers, disintegration of plaster layers, loss of paint layers (blistering and peeling), discoloration and severely damaged owing to a lot of deterioration factors as weakness of mud brick support, deterioration of surface treatments and to the widespread presence of different salts. The materials used in the painting, preparation layers and the state of conservation of the mural painting at funerary house were investigated by integrated physio-chemical measurements, particularly micro-raman spectroscopy (µraman), light optical microscopy (LOM), scanning electron microscopy (EM) coupled with an energy dispersive X-ray analysis system (EDX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). In addition, the morphology of multilayer plaster from wall painting was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). A wide color palette utilized as a part of the necropolis has been identified with mineral pigments and pigment mixtures. It is found that, the paints were based on an organic binder and traditional pigments (azurite, hematite, ochre, vegetable black) were used as colorants on plaster. The examination demonstrated that the preparatory layer is verging on made of pure lime while the plaster layer based mainly of lime and gypsum with variable amounts of quartz. The obtained results provided information about the painting technique, chemical DOI: /ojg July 14, 2017

Furthermore, the obtained results can be used in the conservation and restoration interventions of these sites. Keywords Tuna El-Gebel, Roman Mortuary Houses, Pigments, Raman Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) 1. Introduction The Ancient Egypt site of Tuna el-gebel is outskirts of Amarna and the capital of the pharaoh Akhenaten is one of several necropolises of ancient Hermopolis (Modern Ashmunein); it situated about 300 km south of iro, in Middle Egypt on the western side of the Nile, west of the modern village of Deirut. It is the necropolis of Hermopolis Magna, ancient capital of the 15th Nome and cult centre of Thot, god of writing and sciences [1]. The ruins of Tuna el-gebel are scattered over an area of about three kilometers. The tombs from the Tuna el-gebel necropolis are generally dated to the first half of the 2 nd century AD and were discovered in 1919 [2]. Most of tombs at necropolis were built of mud brick and only the doorjambs were of limestone. Very important mural paintings decorate the tombs and funerary house and the connected rooms of the tombs. The paintings inside the tombs comprise funeral scenes with ancient Egyptian gods, cartouches with hieroglyphic inscriptions, geometric and floral decorations and imitation of marble revetment (Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b)). The painting is executed in conventional Egyptian way and some of figures are rendered in the tradition and clothing normal for Greco-Roman. Very few publications are available on materials and techniques used in Tuna El-Gebel necropolis to paint mural decorations and this lack of knowledge may affect the planning and execution of the conservation-restoration very much and (a) (b) Figure 1. hows mural paintings decoration at the tombs and funerary house at the necropolis of Tuna el-gabel (a) geometric decorations and imitation of marble revetment; (b) floral decoration. 924
3 this is clear from the restoration work that has been done in the region, which led to a further deterioration of these murals. Although they have been recently restored, the paintings appear severely deteriorated. The murals in all the tombs at Tuna El-Gebel necropolis are in a critical state of conservation. It has been exposed to a wide variety of natural and human threats. These include moisture infiltration/condensation, salt deterioration, devastating fires, bat infestations, detrimental reuse and, in more recent times, the irreversible impact of misguided and piecemeal conservation interventions; these conditions have had a devastating effect. The tombs of the Tuna el-gebel necropolis were built of mud brick. The predominant clay minerals are high-swelling montmorillonite, which is responsible for the destructive action in tombs affected by moisture. tastrophic wall collapses have occurred, and the strength and cohesiveness of remaining painted plasters have been weakened (Figure 2(a)). Numerous areas demonstrate an extensive network of micro-cracks connected with a spread obscuring of the painted surface and separations were noticed (Figure 2(b)). The low part of the paintings was damaged and exacerbated by writings, incisions, the neglect of maintenance work and other vandalism actions, that have caused the total loss of significant parts of them. There is prevalent intra-layer delimitation, as well as significant detachment of these layers from the substrate. In addition, chromatic alteration is generally disseminated; basically, grayish in shading that could be credited to the statement of soot and other atmospheric and fire fine particulates (Figure 3(a), Figure 3(b)). The result is a vulnerable, rapidly deteriorating surface that is difficult to read pictorially. The aim of this work was to characterize some of the painting materials used to decorate the walls of the necropolis of Tuna el-gebel to obtain useful information about the painting technique and to offer scientific view for its conservation state with the final goal (a) (b) Figure 2. The critical state of conservation of painted surface at the necropolis of Tuna el-gabel: (a) fallen, losing and separation of painted layer; (b) extensive network of micro-cracks. 925

For this purpose, different optical and analytical techniques were used. 2. Experimental 2.1. ample and ample Preparation ampling strategy is the first step in the analysis process. A representative sampling from Tuna El-Gebel tombs were performed in close collaboration with mural painting conservator-restorers after careful examination of the painted surfaces. amples were collected from detached and fallen parts of the paintings, it was cared to collect samples as small as possible in size. Moreover, attention was given to locate and describe the painting techniques (stratigraphy, pigment). Appropriate representative visible different pigments (blue, green, yellow, red, dark red, brown, black and white) were collected and each of the samples was labeled. To identify the stratigraphic characterization of polychrome surfaces, polished cross-sections were carried out. Fragment samples were embedded in Epoxy resin and mounted on glass slides and the cross section is obtained by polishing the embedded sample with abrasive disks using silicon carbide card with successive grid from 120, 400, 800, to
5 Different series of laboratory tests were applied to samples to determine their basic characteristics Light Optical Microscopy (LOM) Paint fragment and polished cross sections were examined using Leica DM 100 stereomicroscope under normal reflected light at 40 to 100 magnification. The photomicrographs recorded with a Leica EC3 12-megapixel digital camera Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) AFM has been applied to the examination of art and archaeological objects and gave a topographic map of the surface of an altered archaeological surface. The use of an atomic force microscope (AFM) for rapid assessment of the state of ground layer has been investigated and detail of surface topography for this sample was given. The study established an AFM imaging technique that produces data representative of weathering rates of ground layer under a range of weathering regimes of varying severity. The effect of scan size on the average roughness parameter was investigated. The AFM maps of the topography of a substrate by monitoring the interaction force between the sample and a sharp tip attached to the end of a cantilever so that the morphology of the surface of the studied sample can be reproduced at nanometer resolution [3]. The atomic force microscope (AFM) is designed to provide high-resolution (in the ideal case, atomic) topographical analysis, applicable to both conducting and non-conducting surfaces [4]. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was developed by Binning, G. et al. in 1988 [5] to measure forces as small as N. urface topography information was obtained by cutting a 12 mm diameter disk from the ground layer, and using Wet-PM (canning Probe microscope) himadzu EM-EDAX emi quantitative analyses of elemental composition were obtained using an EDX, X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer analyzer with at an acceleration voltage of 200 v - 30 kev X-Ray Diffraction Mineralogical structure of support and plaster layers were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses performed by PW 1840 diffractometer equipped with a conventional X-ray tube, CuKα radiation, 40 kv, 25 ma, point focus Micro-Raman pectroscopy (µraman) The collected paint samples have been examined with µraman spectroscopy, which is a versatile technique of analyzing both organic and inorganic materials that has experienced noticeable growth in the field of art and art conservation in parallel to the improvement of the instrumentation [6]. Raman spectroscopic studies of wall paintings and frescoes have addressed the composition of pigments and pigment mixtures, their interactions with their substrates [7]. Raman 927
6 spectroscopy is a spectral analysis of light scattered from a sample being bombarded by a monochromatic (LAER) light beam [8]. The use of Raman spectroscopy as a technique for the characterization of mineral pigments on historiated manuscripts and wall-paintings has been demonstrated for several scenarios [9]. Components of pigment samples have been probed using Raman microscopy. Micro-Raman spectra were recorded using a laser power at the sample of about 0.3 m Wand and objective lens of 50 magnification of an Olympus microscope. The Raman analyses have been carried out with a enterra (Bruker) and a laser at 785 nm, at a power ranging from 5-25 mw according with the thermal stability of the compounds to be investigated and Charge Coupled Device (CCD) ( 65 C) detector cooled by the Peltier effect at 200 K. A Jasco 2000 spectrometer combined with an Olympus microscope, cooled with liquid nitrogen has been also used with a laser at 1000 nm and a power range lower than 50 mw. The spectra have been generally recorded between 1200 and 150 cm 1. The possible presence of organic substances has been studied at high wavenumbers, whereas the inorganic compounds, oxides and sulphides, have been investigated at lower wavenumbers. For each paint fragment or layer, an average of 30 particles has been analyzed, with a variable collection time according to the magnitude of the scattering signal. It was attached with Olympus U-TV1x-2 camera FTIR pectroscopy (FTIR) The binding media of the pain layers was identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) using JACO FTIR-460 spectrophotometers. 3. Results and Discussions 3.1. Painting Layer tructure Observation of the prepared cross sections through an optical microscope shows that, there are two or three clearly differentiated layers: an internal layer or mural substrate, fine layer and a pictorial film. Figures 4(a)-(d) illustrates the pictorial strata of mural painting sample subjected for the study through an optical microscope following: (1) Mud brick support. (2) Inner (bottom) layer which was applied over the wall structure which is white in color, course in texture and was applied in varying thicknesses and in multiple layers to build up and level the mudbrick wall. In some tombs, this layer is reinforced with strips of chopped straw the strip length could be from 300 to 500 μm, according to the LOM investigation, the straw could be from Barley straw (Figure 4(c)). (3) A second white plaster (fine layer) was used as a finishing coat and provided the ground for the first mural scheme. It was characterized by surfaces with variable cavities and another sample reveals homogeneous surface composed of fine grains. In some areas, below the main paint layer, over painting technique was observed, the painters put the rough plaster at the mud brick tombs, paint layer with yellow pigment, plaster layer mixed with fine particles of yellow paint and the final is paint layer of the tomb (Figure 4(d)). (4) Paint layer. 928

The layer distribution of mural painting at Tuna El-Gabel (a) cross-section images of the stratigraphy of mural painting; (b) the stratigraphy of mural painting under reflected light; (c) chopped straw mixed with rough layer; (d) over painting technique Painting Layer Morphology The AFM maps the morphology of the surface of the plaster (Figure 5) indicated that the surface samples were very rough with the formation of an extensive array of bumpy features. Respectively, progressive pitting and surface damage of the samples suggested that the surface area was subjected to many deterioration aspects. In addition, etching was assumed to remove weak boundary layers from the surface. Because of etching, roughness of the surface increased. Rms roughness data, given as standard deviation over all height values within the surface area of interest, were determined from 1 μm 2 AFM images. The rms values were given in the (Figure 6). The aggregates of rough plasters with particle size between NM composed the largest fraction of the total aggregates. Aggregates bigger than 476 nm and the smaller than 189 nm are composed the smallest fraction of the total aggregate). This shows that mostly fine aggregates between coarse (Greater than 1.03 mm.) and very fine (less than 0.18 mm) were used in the preparation of the rough plasters. The aggregates used in the bottom plasters are semi-circular in shape and they are mainly white and semi-opaque Composition of Painting Layer XRD patterns of the rough plasters (Figure 7) indicated that, the main constituent is calcium carbonate calcite (CO 3 ), gypsum (O 4 2H 2 O) and quartz (io 2 ). lcite is originated from lime which could be interpreted as a lime based plaster mixed with little Gypsum, quartz from aggregates. Mineralogical compo- 929

EM-ED microscopies (Figure 8) show that the finishing plaster below the painting layers consisted of high amounts of,, i (50.81, 24.92, 16.32) and a small amount of Al, Fe, Ti, r (Figure 8). Considering these results, it can be claimed that plaster samples were prepared by using lime and gypsum as binder and quartz as aggregates Paint Layer Inorganic pigments have been identified on different painting layers. Figure 9 shows optical microscope images of the paint samples under the reflected light. The Identification of the samples was examined using µraman spectroscopy and EM-EDX analysis; Table 1 provides a summary of the EDX results Blue Pigment The stereomicroscope examination shows variety in color ranging from deep and light crystals spread within a transparent matrix and rich in detachment part, white stains and sand grains (Figure 9(a)). µraman spectra (Figure 10) show the characteristic bands of Egyptian blue (calcium copper (II) silicate 930

The band at 1086 cm 1 (symmetric stretching, ν1), is attributed to calcite (CO 3 ). Few spectra at 200 and 400 cm 1 are probably due to the presence of quartz and amorphous silica. The EM-ED microscopies of the blue pigment (Figure 11), shows that the peaks of i (54.25%), (22.04%) and Cu (14.54%) are present, and their atomic percentage ratios agree with the formula of cuprorivaite. EDX pattern of pigment Various analyses suggest that, Egyptian blue was manufactured by heating together silica sand (io 2 ), copper alloy filings or ores (copper compound malachite (Cu 2 [(OH) 2, CO 3,]) or azurite (CU 3 [(OH)/CO 3 ]2), calcite (CO 3 ) and potash or natron, and was commonly found in artefacts from the 4 th Dynasty onwards Lucas A [10]. Its earliest recorded use was in the IV Dynasty ( BC) and its use lasted throughout the dynastic period and continued into the Roman period [11] Green Pigment Under stereomicroscope, the green paint area shows various shades with yelloworange and blue particles scattered in the matrix. The green particles are pale and some are faded green, combined with the detachment of pigment particles in some areas. The Raman spectrum of the green pigment (Figure 12) represent a typical peak of cuprorivaite at 1092, 1040, 501, 433 cm 1, Moreover, the strong band at 632 cm 1 and 240, 550 cm 1 indicates a well-crystallized Goethite. EDX analysis (Figure 13) revealed the presence of iron (Fe), copper (Cu), ilicon (i) and calcium (), these means, the painter carried out the green pigments by mixed of Egyptian blue and yellow ochre. Green was obtained from powdered malachite or from an artificial green frit. In some instances, the green color was acquired by mixing Egyptian blue with Blue pigment Raman Intensity Wavenumber cm 1 Figure 10. µraman spectrum of blue pigment with Raman bands at 1022, 965, 563, 538, 510, 497, 328, 361, 241 cm 1 ; this confirms that the blue color is due to cuprorivaite. 933

Howell G mentioned that, one of the green pigments specimen from Greco-Roman double coffins formed from an admixture of yellow and blue pigments [13] Yellow Pigment On careful observation under the stereomicroscope, the yellow pictorial layer appeared to have different shades of yellow that can be described qualitatively as bright-yellow, orange-yellow and brownish-yellow and showed small and 934

EDX analysis of the sample (Figure 14) analyzed from the yellow paint layer indicated that iron (Fe) was abundant element, with some traces of Al, i and K. Yellow as a token of the un and as the color of happiness and prosperity yellow was an important color [12]. The Raman spectra of the yellow pigment indicates that it is like the ancient yellow ocher, yellow ochre is identifiable through the characteristic bands at 1406, 1278, 1200,1086, 1007, 635, 415, 278, 222 (Figure 15). The only yellow pigment available in ancient and prehistoric art was yellow ochre (hydrated oxide of iron, Fe 2 O 3 H 2 O) which was not totally satisfactory in view of its pale hue [14] CP Fe i Al K Fe kev Figure 13.

XRD analysis indicated that, iron is responsible of all degrees. Iron (III) oxide, hematite, occurs in almost all red pigments studied here, often in admixture with calcite and carbon to give lighter and darker colors. The hematite is not found as a pure mineral pigment in red samples but occurs in admixture with clays and sand to give red ochre. pectroscopically, it is possible to detect the presence of red ochre through the increased bandwidths of the hematite bands (224.86, , , cm 1 ) (Figure 16, Figure 17) caused by the interactions of the mineral with the aluminosilicate clay matrix. EDX analysis of red pigment (Figure 18) shows that the peaks of (Fe, i, Al, and K) are present, the presence of quartz from Fine River sand which was sometimes added to assist in the preparation and grinding of the pigment mixture Dark Red Pigment The field observation indicated that the dark red color provides a decorative transition from the dark yellow to the brown-black and then to the light-yellow background. Under the stereomicroscope the sample illustrated very dark particles tend to red and black particles. EDX analysis reveals that, the sample was composed of Fe and C (Figure 19). The dominant Raman band on this pigment remains at (224, 291 cm 1 ) typical peaks of hematite. The Raman spectrum recorded on black grains in the brown paint layer shows bands at ( , cm 1 ) (Figure 20). 936

Most of tombs at necropolis were built of mud brick and only the doorjambs were built of limestone and the walls were plastered with mud mortar tempered with chaff, and given a coat of lime-and-sand plaster which acted as ground for the painted decoration. The different techniques of examination and analysis provided us with information about the identification of the mural painting layers at Tuna El-Gabel necropolis as follows: There are two or three clearly differentiated layers of the mural painting at the necropolis. Coarse plaster layers have a denser coat than fine layer and applied in varying thicknesses in multiple layers to build up and level the brick wall. It composed of 941

Fine plaster layer contains high amount of lime and more little sand and doesn t contain strew. Arabic Gum was used as a binder in the preparation paint layer in mural painting. Many pigments were used and executed in tempera technique on dry surface rendering. For the pigments components, µraman spectrum and EDX data showed that different pigments had been employed: - White pigment sample consists of a mixture of calcite CO 3 and gypsum O 4 2H 2 O. - Black pigment contains carbon C. - Blue pigment consists of Egyptian blue Cui 4 O Green pigment is mixing of cuprorivaite and Goethite FeOOH. - Red and brown pigments contain hematite Fe 2 O 3. - Dark red pigment consists of hematite and traces of carbon. - Yellow pigment is yellow ochre. - All pigments were mixed with Arabic gum as binder. The field and lab investigation indicated that, the mural paintings in Tuna El-Gabel necropolis is suffering from a lot of deterioration aspects. The serious deterioration phenomenon of the tomb is a clear detachment between the rough layer and the mudbrick wall and a lot of wall paintings were completely losing due to the loss of adhesion between the mudbrick support and the plaster. The problem is more complicated by the existence of salts. Deterioration observed on the mural painting were formed by the thermal alteration in the building. Detaching layers of the paintings must be consolidated with appropriate materials and methods after carrying out experimental studies (modified lime base 942
21 mortar is recommended). Restoration of the paintings must be performed after the consolidation of the building. Paintings must be covered with suitable methods in order to avoid any damage that can occur during the restoration of the building. The restoration should be followed by a long-term conservation plan according to scientific and analytical study. Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank Prof. Hussien M.
